Take full advantage of your RRSPs

For most Canadians, RRSPs - Registered Retirement Savings Plans are a great place to start. The Federal Government will allow you to contribute up to 18% of your earned income (to a maximum of $26,010) into your RRSP, and reduce the amount of taxes that you pay as a result. If you're not taking advantage of this option, you're leaving money on the table.

But when it comes time to start a Registered Retirement Savings Plan in Alberta, where do you start?

Capital Estate Planning has over 35 years of experience in helping Albertans save for their future. If you're a teacher or school board employee in Alberta, you have access to a Group RRSP specifically set up just for you. With over 40,000 people as part of our negotiating block, we've had the influence to be able to negotiate away a lot of the fees that you'd normally pay at a bank or private investment dealer -- there are no charges to set up, make changes or withdraw money from your account, for example, and no annual transaction fees.
